Models named: A350-941, -1041. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, except those on which Airbus modifications 113758 and 113759 have been embodied in production.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2018-22-13, with revised compliance language and a corrected TR date. At the applicable time specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of this AD, revise the Abnormal Procedures section of the existing AFM to include the information in Airbus A350 TR 113, Issue 1, dated August 17, 2018, which introduces updated procedures related to inboard aileron fault operations. This may be done by inserting a copy of Airbus A350 TR 113, Issue 1, dated August 17, 2018, into the existing AFM. When Airbus A350 TR 113, Issue 1, dated August 17, 2018, has been included in general revisions of the existing AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the existing AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revisions is identical to that in Airbus A350 TR 113, Issue 1, dated August 17, 2018, and the TR may be removed. Operate the airplane according to the procedures in Airbus A350 TR 113, Issue 1, dated August 17, 2018. In case any discrepancy is identified between procedures displayed on the electronic centralized aircraft monitoring (ECAM) and procedures stated in the applicable existing AFM, the existing AFM procedures prevail. (1) For airplanes modified by Airbus modifications 113758 and 113760: Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD. (2) For airplanes not identified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD: Within 30 days after November 23, 2018 (the effective date of AD 2018-22-13).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a technical issue detected on the inboard aileron electrohydrostatic actuators that caused potential erroneous monitoring of those actuators. The FAA is issuing this AD to address possible in-flight loss of inboard aileron control, consequent increased fuel consumption due to the resulting drag, and reduced control or performance of the airplane if one engine is also inoperative.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2018-22-13, Amendment 39-19486 (83 FR 55617, November 7, 2018) (“AD 2018-22-13”).
